Outline elastic cuts background comparison of yields Helastic based on Dec out-bending Hcbc – wire chambers for April in-bending data Hpt – TOF elastic new timing offsets for Feb,April data background comparison of yields TOF only, WC AL,R, m GE/GM , PbPt projected errors
Hcbc – Wire Chambers [p,q,f,z]e, [p,q,f,z]p ) q,f,z (5 extras) pe:qe pp:qp qe:qp fe:fp ze:zp pmiss need better resolution (current re-crunch)
Timing Offsets flasher unstable for April runs retiming method refit flasher peaks aligned elastic timing peak in sets of 5k events overall relative offsets from cosmics use WC f to extract position offsets, slope
secondary peak
Hpt TOF elastic cuts cut on 48 TOF paddle combinations/side fit (ptr+ptl):(ttr-ttl) to 2-d gaussian elliptical cuts with parameter ns

Yields Comparison TOF cuts only (lr ntuple) MC includes WC acceptance (see forward paddles)
Fit Method Super-ratio Method 2 equations in P, R i = left,right j = Q2 bin (1..n) b = spin angle Fit Method Super-ratio Method 2 equations in P, R for fixed bin j independent polarization in each bin! 2n parameters Pj, Rj Global Fit Method fit ALj, ARj to above formalism with P, Rj n+1 parameters n+2 (+spin angle?) same advantage as super-ratio method PbPt still cancels
Outbending Data (Dec)
Inbending Data(Feb, Apr)
Combined Datasets with Projected Errors based on additional 325kC of data 32% increase in density 3.2£ reduction in errors compared with 50kC in April
